The American Schooling/Uni system seems a lot more complicated than what we have over in Aus. I just finished my HSC (Higher School Certificate), was given a score out of 100 and applied for any course I wanted at any university. With a half decent score you can pretty much go to any university in the country.

yea I am also worried I get put off track, my sister can manage being a party animal and be a good student but she has always been a good student. I am looking at either Salsbury,WVU,UMD,York I think I could get into WVU and maybe Salsbury w/o CC but if I get good grades from CC I could open my options a lot more. But then again a downside would be missing out on 1/2 of my senior year,but I will be able to meet a lot of people at CC.

Solidifying your future is more important then a few high school parties that will be a distant memory. Just my opinion though.....

On another note, Nicklas Backstrom is amazingly good.

Meanwhile, in hockey the other night, the Washington Capitals' Eric Belanger gets hit with a stick, loses EIGHT teeth, has an instant root canal in the locker room, comes back out and PLAYS and never says boo.

So new rule, NBA: Unless you have a root canal at halftime, SHUT UP AND PLAY!

I don't go to school but I have recently started a hobby of collecting college t-shirts from accross the country. I plan on getting a large US map on the wall and indicating with a pushpin the college's i currently have. I plan on doing it as a hobby but also to teach my child geography in 2-3 years
